    "A security issue has been identified that could allow an attacker to run
    programs on a computer running Microsoft® Windows®. The attacker would
    first have to send you an e-mail message or entice you into visiting a
    malicious Web site. "

    All too often you see posts in newsgroups "come look at this." I just saw
    one in another NG that had the extention /webcam.

    Think how many people would hurriedly go running there hoping to see
    something and could be infected.
